Mu Yingxi quietly slipped back to her bedroom without being noticed by anyone.

Xiaoxue, who was sleeping soundly, heard some movement and opened her eyes. Seeing that it was Mu Yingxi, she whined at Mu Yingxi twice, closed her eyes again, and quickly fell asleep.

Mu Yingxi had a doting smile in her eyes and walked slowly to Xiaoxue's side.

Her body has not recovered yet, and it is the limit to see Gu Chenxuan today. She carefully holds Xiaoxue in her arms. She doesn't know how long she can look forward to such a peaceful night.

In the bloody storm that followed, she really got her wish and accompanied Gu Chenxuan to ride in the world.

Mu Yingxi shook her head and forced herself not to think about anything, not to think about the lost child, so that she would not have the heartbreaking pain. By not thinking about the danger they were about to face, she could do what she wanted without any scruples.

The things he did helped Tian Qiyu ascend to the throne.

Mu Yingxi stayed up all night. Because her body had not yet recovered, Mu Yingxi stayed in her bedroom. But today's morning seemed different from usual.

Something was missing, and Mu Yingxi didn't notice it at first. It wasn't until after lunch that Mu Yingxi was shocked to realize that her father, who came to see her every day, had not appeared in the room.

After asking the housekeeper, he found out that the emperor's condition had relapsed and Mu Xu was left in the palace.

Mu Yingxi's expression suddenly became solemn. What was supposed to come was coming. She was already prepared, but when it came time to do it, she was timid.

She doesn't want Gu Chenxuan to die, she wants him to live well.

During dinner, Mu Yingxi met her father.

"Dad, is the emperor sick?" Mu Yingxi asked tentatively.

Mu Xu's face instantly became solemn, and he sighed softly, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive for a few days..."

Seemingly realizing that the topic discussed by the father and daughter was too heavy, Mu Xu smiled and comforted: "Xiao Xi, your main task now is to take care of your own body. Don't worry too much about other things. Your dad is here for everything."

"Dad, my injury is fine. I will recover in a few days. I'm just worried..." Mu Yingxi looked complicated. The injuries on her body will get better with the passage of time, and there won't even be any traces. However, the injuries in her heart are still there.

It can never be made up for.

Mu Xu knew that Mu Yingxi and Tian Qiyu had always been on good terms. When Mu Yingxi arrested Zhou, she had caught Tian Qiyu by coincidence. Everything was already destined.

The Mu family can only support Tian Qiyu. Whether Tian Qiyu can ascend the throne is related to the life and death of their entire family.

"Xiao Xi, the emperor doesn't have many heirs. There are six princes in total, and now there are only three left. The sixth prince has no interest in the throne. The fourth prince and the second prince are equally matched, but the sixth prince is on the side of the fourth prince.

The prince has a great chance of winning." Mu Xu patted Mu Yingxi's shoulder, not wanting Mu Yingxi to still worry about Tian Qiyu while she was recovering from her injuries.

Mu Yingxi nodded slightly. She knew that Tian Qiyu had a great chance of winning. But if the emperor did not leave a legacy, there would definitely be a fierce battle in the palace in the future.

What she wants is the emperor's edict, asking him to pass the throne to Tian Qiyu, so that Tian Qiyu can legitimately inherit the throne.

"Xiao Xi, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to call a doctor?" Mu Yingxi's expression suddenly became solemn, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Mu Xu couldn't help asking worriedly.
